Full Moon


Away, fish.

I could loiter,

Like a voyeur watching you forever.


I could lose my footing on these jetty rocks, 

I could fall into the full moon,

Your veil thinning as the tide sharpens your gown. 


You,so soft-hearted.

Me,so hard-headed.

You, so full of indolence and sensuality.


Silver and gold, your gown:

I think you must be consort to Poseidon.

I hope we never meet again.


You may live a little longer, but there’s a price:

Give me back my hook.

Away, you soft-mouth fish.
